About Emma
Emma Cott is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) in Kansas with 12 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of other concerns she has helped people with.
She began her career in community mental health, spending six years doing crisis intervention. In that role she worked with people of many ages who were in immediate danger and needed support to stay safe. Since 2017 she has practiced in a private setting and shifted to working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
Emma uses an eclectic, practical approach. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered ideas, existential thinking, and trauma-focused methods such as EMDR. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and building skills for daily life.
She often helps people with issues around identity, sexuality, relationship problems, work and career stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressure, and caregiving strain. She also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment, codependency, and body image.
Emma emphasizes acceptance as a first step toward change. She balances supportive listening with direct, practical work when a client is ready to try new strategies. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Emma's approaches translate to online work
Emma commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through experiments and skill practice, which fits well with short homework tasks and check-ins. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through step-by-step exercises that can be practiced between sessions.She also uses client-centered ideas that prioritize listening and understanding the person's experience. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick the methods that match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session delivery formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel logistics, or video sessions that allow visual cues for skill practice. Consider what practical fit you need and confirm available formats when you schedule the first session.
